Abstract
For the first time, a series of cholesteric copolymers containing combined chiral photochromic side groups has been synthesized and the phase behaviour and optical properties of the copolymers have been characterized. Specific features of the photochemical and photo-optical behaviour of such systems were studied, and the quantum yields of the photo-induced process in solution and in the condensed state of the cholesteric copolymers were calculated. The selective light reflection wavelength was found to be controlled by the UV radiation. The synthesized polymers were shown to be promising candidates for colour data recording.
